The guy is a playmaker though. He needs to be on the field more often.
I love Hardman's potential, but it's clear Mahomes doesn't entirely trust him in the same way as Robinson and it shows up in his usage. If I recall, he and Mahomes had some miscommunication in the 4th where Mahomes seemed frustrated? [Reply]
For as many great throws as mahomes has made in his career, that 55 yarder might be the toughest throw he's made as a pro. It was a jump pass, drifting backward, thrown on a complete dime 55 yards downfield in the only place he could have put it. Just an absurd throw. [Reply]
I can't imagine how frustrating that would be for a defender. I mean they 4 defenders within ~2yds, and Mahomes just threw it through the keyhole anyway. Just incredible.
When you look at Hardman's body language prior to the catch you can tell even he was surprised momentarily he attempted it because Mecole does that "oh shit here it comes" and comes through with a great catch. [Reply]

This one and the TD to Hill were special throws. IMO, Rodgers is the only QB in the league who could have pulled off the 55 yarder and I don't think any QB even attempts the 2-point conversion.
There was another throw that was crazy too. I can't remember when it was but it was a fucking laser to Hill. I believe it was one of the free plays from an offsides call. Pat planted his back foot, reached to his hip and fucking fired a strike. Ball had to be moving like 70+ MPH.. but it bounced into the air and fell incomplete so no one will remember it. [Reply]

Yup. Give Hardman a lot of credit too. Just shows you, again, always be working for a reason. [Reply]
